Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is petamol per second (Pmol/s)?
-
Petamol per second (Pmol/s) measures molar flow rate equal to 10^15 moles passing a point every second.
-
Why convert Pmol/s to kmol/s?
-
Converting from petamol/second to kilomol/second helps express extremely large flows in units more common in industrial and chemical process applications.
-
Is this conversion suitable for small-scale molar flows?
-
No, this conversion fits extremely large-scale processes; smaller flow rates are typically expressed in other molar flow units.
